Crappy is fine, as long as it is crappily beautiful. Or beautifully crappy. Also - none of the pictures I showed are my own. I took them off the web a...
This stuff happened: I was born with a mind that wouldn't stop working. Making patterns. I was born with a mouth that wouldn't stop talking. I had, st...

Duality is an idea. A way of looking at things. It's human. It's mental. It's not a physical fact. It can't be proven or even observed. Show me a pict...
I first read about arsenic being used as a recreational drug in "Rose" by Martin Cruz Smith. Pretty good book. Smith wrote "Gorky Park" which is wonde...
Makes me think of "Ancillary Justice" by Anne Leckie. Maybe my favorite science fiction book in more than 50 years of reading. Wonderfully written. Mo...
Thanks. I'll go look it up. Similar subject - I don't care much about TV, but I am looking forward to Amazon's "Jack Ryan." I hope it's good. I like J...

Except people aren't particularly rational and we don't make our moral judgments on a primarily rational basis. And that's a good thing. We follow our...
Love Furst. Definitely read his earlier books first. Polish Officer. Blood of Victory. Dark Star, Night Soldiers. They all take place in Europe just b...
I know you have been on the forum just starting today, so I don't know if you know how a private message (PM) works. When I first started, it took me ...
So, it can't possibly be true because it would be absurd. That's a terrible argument that has been spectacularly unsuccessful so far. Light transmissi...
While I'm certain 99.5% of Americans did not think marriage between the races was wrong, certainly not in 1969, the general principle you're recognizi...
I've enjoyed this discussion. One thing I think it does is put the limits of human conceptual capacity in context. Which I guess means it's not meanin...
I tend to be a pretty pragmatic person who likes dealing with concrete ideas, but that doesn't mean talking about things like this isn't interesting a...
I meant to respond to this but forgot. I read some short stories when I was a kid. Don't remember names. I read a couple of novels. I went and looked ...
I was just checking. A Planck Length may be, but is not definitely, the smallest possible length. If it is, then a cubic Planck Length is the smallest...

I had a really hard time following your post, but this is one point I could understand. In what universe is there a "fantastic" correlation between wh...
"Gravitational theory," of which there are several, is not a fact, statement, or "observable thing." it is a theory, a model, a generalization. Only s...

I'm not particularly patient either. I was surprised at how, once I got into it, I couldn't stop reading. I've given this book to a lot my family memb...
Titus Groan is fantasy but with very little magic. Here's a link to my Amazon review: https://www.amazon.com/gp/review/R3BR0T0T21TLHP?ref_=glimp_1rv_c...
Actually, my criticism isn't right. I just read "Titus Groan" last year. t. It is one of the most difficult, slow, incomprehensible fiction books I've...
I read "The Hobbit" and the "Lord of the Rings" books when I was 17 years old with my first love, so it has a special place in my heart. Going back la...

A good argument. It is or was on Netflix, so I almost watched several times, but I couldn't do it. I've done the same thing with other books/movies. T...
